Buyer screening & representation

It is super important that your business is sold to the right person, which is why we screen every buyer. We also screen sellers, ensuring that every business we advertise is the best of the best, providing everyone with the service they need. 

Negotiation facilitation

We can also help facilitate negotiations, ensuring buyers and sellers get the right price. We can help you negotiate any private sales and guide you through the negotiation price so you don’t need to settle for a price you don’t want. 

Due diligence coordination

We also help with your due diligence, ensuring the business you buy or sell is suitable. Its financial history, infrastructure and policies are checked, and comparing it to the market averages to determine if it is underperforming or not.

FAQs about selling a business in Adelaide

How can I sell a business in Adelaide?

You can use a business broker, like Benchmark Business, to sell your business in Adelaide. Our team of experienced and specialist brokers can help you market your business and find the perfect buyer without you needing to do anything.  

We offer business valuations that allow you to see how much your business is worth. These valuations are based on sales-based data, and we can offer guidance on how you could increase the value of your business, too. For more information, contact a business valuer in Adelaide to see what your business is worth. 

It can take as little as six months to sell your business in Adelaide, but sometimes, it can take up to a year to sell. The time it takes depends on the type of business, the market, and if there are lots of negotiations between you and potential buyers. Don’t worry; we keep you updated on the progress and time frame. 

We use our database of potential buyers, market research, and networking events to help find potential buyers for your business. Our marketing campaigns have a proven track record that ensures we can find potential buyers from across Adelaide rather than relying on one database as other brokers do. 

We think you should only share details about the business that potential buyers need to know. Legal documents should be available for potential buyers, including permits and licences, contracts, articles of incorporation, and intellectual property registrations. If there is sensitive information that you think potential buyers need to see but are worried about them using or sharing it, you can ask potential buyers to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect you and your business.

Yes, you can change your mind if you have not signed a contract with the seller. Whether you need more time to decide or a change in circumstances means you are unable to sell the business, we will handle the situation for you and be available for assistance should you find a better time to sell. 

Your confidentiality is our priority; we store all your data securely while we need it. We also recommend using NDAs to ensure confidential information remains private before the business sells. It’s also worth updating your systems throughout your business to keep your information as secure as possible. 

FAQs about buying a business in Adelaide

What types of businesses do you specialise in when selling?

We have nearly twenty specialised industries and areas, so no matter what business you want to buy, we have something for you, including: 

  • Automotive 
  • Cafes 
  • Childcare
  • Construction
  • E-commerce

  • Medical and dental
  • Professional practice 
  • RTO

  • Transport 

Our valuers base their price on the current market in Adelaide and the success of the business’ sales. Not only does this help us determine the business’s success, but it is worth it compared to similar companies in the area, so you never pay more than you need to. 

We offer constant support, ensuring you get the right business for you and your budget. Not only do we do due diligence on the business to ensure it’s suitable for purchase, but we can advise you and are available to answer any questions you have. We regularly contact you so you are never left confused in the dark. 

It can take at least six months to buy a business in Adelaide, with some clients finding it takes a year for the deal to be closed and the business to be theirs. When we are your brokers, though, we offer an estimated time frame and update you every step of the way. 

It can be easier to buy an established business than start one from scratch, especially if the business you are buying is successful. When you buy a successful business, you gain a loyal customer base that will continue to do business with you, ensuring your revenue continues. You also don’t need to spend as much as if you were building the business from scratch, as the buildings, equipment, and staff are already in place.
